U.S. Admits Bombs Hit Residential Areas: WASHINGTON - The Pentagon is vowing to flush out any Afghan fighters who hide in residential areas to escape aerial attacks even as it acknowledges a few of its bombs accidentally struck civilian sites. ``There is not an intention to open or widen (air) attacks in the cities,'' Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem said. ``We will find other ways ... to get at those who might cowardly decide to hide in residential neighborhoods.'' Those ``other ways'' could include the use of commandos or other ground forces, Stufflebeem acknowledged Tuesday.
